If you like the durability of Safariland’s heavy kydex holsters but also prefer a simpler retention system, the Down Range Gear Safariland 6004 Thumb Break Kit may be for you. It installs on Safariland 6004, 6280, 6285, and similar holsters without permanent modification and replaces the SLS system with a simpler thumb break strap.

UW Gear is making several changes to their product line for 2014 including the addition of new designs and colors. The new designs include MKIII versions of the Minuteman and Swampfox chest rigs and the latest color that will be added to the line up is OD Green. The Bandoleer will also undergo changes.
The new MKIII version of the Minuteman is shown in the new OD Green color option.
The MKIII version of the Minuteman will be the first addition with the Swampfox MKIII coming at a later date. The MKII versions will continue to be offered for the near future thought they will likely be discontinued at some point. The MKIII versions of these rigs will offer several improvements that will make the rigs more durable, lighter, and easier to manufacture which should help deal with UW Gear’s backlog. These improvements include a 4 magazine format, a more flexible harness, a new strap attachment method, a new flap design, and taped edges in place of the previous folded edges.
These changes are discussed in depth in the following video…
Additionally, these new MKIII rigs are intended to be part of a larger suite of gear items that they are currently developing. I am hoping that means there will be a small pack available soon to integrate with the rigs.

Cole Partnerships and Training has teamed up with Oneiros Valley to create the PAP or Practical Admin Pouch. It is one of the trimmest admin pouches that I have seen while still retaining quite a bit of useful organization features.
Mil-Spec Monkey recently received the run down on the PAP direct from Matt Cole of CPT:
Whiskey Two-Four is offering a handy new piece of gear called Loopanywhere.It turns the space between rows of PALS webbing into useful spaces to display patches or ID.
Gear doesn’t get much simpler than this. Loop anywhere is just a laser cut section of loop Velcro with tabs that can be tucked between rows of PALS webbing. It is available in 2, 3, 4, and 6 column wide sections and in many colors/camo patterns.
Check out Loopanywhere at Whiskey Two-Four.
